Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie Recipe

Looking for a pie to make for the holidays? Try this Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie! I’ve never used oats in an Apple Pie before but the crumb topping was quite delicious!

Ingredients:

For Pie:

pastry for single-crust pie
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples

Crumb Topping:

1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup butter

Final Topping:

1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

Prepare pastry for single-crust pie. Place in pie dish & crimp the edges. (I was running short for time & used a prepared pie crust.)
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Add apple slices and gently toss until they are all coated.
Place mixture into pie crust.

For Crumb Topping:

Stir together brown sugar, flour, and oats, then add butter.
Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until topping resembles coarse crumbs, sprinkle over apple mixture in the pie.
To prevent over-browning, cover the pie edges with foil. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
Remove foil and bake an additional 25 to 30 minutes.
Drizzle top with caramel topping; sprinkle with pecans.
Cool & Serve!

I used 5 cups of apples thinking 6 was too much high, but the apples smooth out during cooking so next time I will make it with 6 cups.
